- iudqnolq 4y agoBased on a cursory look that seems closed & proprietary, so I'm not sure. Their privacy policy reveals online directions are sent off to a mapbox competitor > We've built the Directions tool, like all of our tools, with privacy as a priority. Light does not have access to any location info or logs of your trip history. These trips are handled privately without user identification using our navigation partner HERE. I suspect everything maps related on-device is a thin layer over the HERE SDK. I suspect that's possible because LightOS is actually a skin over Linux or Android.
